Go Birds (again)

Seattle’s triumph in Super Bowl LX, along with Philadelphia’s victory in the same competition last year, has made me think that in future I should follow an avian theme when making US sports predictions.

For the NBA Championship we’re looking at the Atlanta Hawks or the New Orleans Pelicans, currently ranked 9th in the East and 14th in the West respectively, so perhaps not.

In the NHL there are the Anaheim Ducks and the Pittsburgh Penguins, both of whom are going pretty well this season, and either might be worth a wager for the Stanley Cup.

Most promising though is the MLB; we have the Baltimore Orioles, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Toronto Blue Jays. The first two were nowhere last year, but of course the Jays came within a couple of outs of winning the World Series, so they must be a pretty good bet for this season too.
